of Northern 'cowards' on tho (loom of
Congress. They tnndo long-a hided speeches,

tho precise way in which tho bowie-knife
would glide in between o Vimkco'ii rib,

appearance They have delighted to paint
the lack of Northern cities, tho slaughter
of Northern ormies, blood, thunder, and a
general smash up of thiugn earthly, oil as
very likely, contingent njion tho incuutioos
treading of nn awkward Jonathan njiorj
the corns of some descendant of one of tlio
" First Fumilics of Virginia" in the pro
ducts of B miter Hill, enjoying his "in
uliciiublo rights" to life, liberty, olid the
pursuit of nigger. They liavo threatened
that if tho Government refuted tln.-ir m.id
schemes of rebellion, " t!ic very first drop
of blood died1' would bo a signal for mus
tering the chivalry, when wo might export
to fco tho North ' subdued,' if they hud to
rock the firmament, pull down the titan,
und tear their shirts off, to do it.
As examples of tlio prowess of negro
whipping chivalry, they struck down nn
iiiiariiii'd United Stulcs Senator with n
bludgeon o:i the floor of the fviinlo cham
ber, and beat him till life was nearly ex
tinct, for saying that freedom was prefera
ble lo slavery; they surrounded tho house
iu which ltrown of Kauris hud taken ref
uge, nineteen of them, all armtd, and of
ter enticing him out by pledging their Ann
or that bo aluiuM have a fair trial, fell
upon him with hatchets mid knives and
cut him to pieces then rolled and kicked
his mnnglcd body soino twenty rods to a
wagon, pitched it in, and hauling him to
the door of his own house, threw him bleed
ing and dying into tho middle of tho floor
occupied by his wife and children. They
murdered tlio sou of old Ossawolainie
I'rotvii by loading him with chains and
marching him burc-hcadcd and hare-foot
for twenty miles over a dusty rond, under
n scorching rain. They took six unarmed
men prisoners iu the southern part of Kan
sas, mid ufter marching them eloso to the
Missouri hue, halted and thot Hum down
iu their trucks. They surrounded tho pulpit
of l.inhop Janes in Texu, with bowie
knives and pistols in their belts, nnd drove
him out of the State hceuu.-u ho was a
Northern Methodist. They pursued the
Kev. Mr. l.owly, a until e TVnncMiccaii,
with blood hounds into Mii-sntiri, strapped
him on n horse, nnd carried him back
into the forests of Aikansas, where thev
hung him to n tree for expressing tho con
viction that slavery was not n divine insti
tution. They stripped the Ilcv. Mr. Sut
ler nuked, covered him with tar and feath
ers, nnd then sent him down tho Missouri
river on a raft, for saying ho intended to
vote or u freo constitution for Kansas.
They tied no old Mr. Potncroy, a demo
cratic preacher In Texas, and whipped him
on the bare back till tlio blood rati down
into his shoes, for preaching that masters
ought lo treat their servants l.ko human
beings Instead of cattle. They hung n
Kenliickian by the heels till h0 was dead,
in Arkansas!, for expressing nn uttaehnieiit
for the Stars and Stripes. They have shot
down, hung up, nnd cut to pieces with the
i.i.sh and knife, besides burning ut the sluke,
enough poor defensch n slaves, and such
northern democrats with amalgamation an
tecedents as poor Curry and SI iter, to
inaho a bloody pool deep enough to flout
n frigate. These acta have been matters
of newspaper notoriety for tho last twenty
years, keeping up in certain quurters an
exalted idea of the bravery of the cliivulrv,
while tho lanibl.ku patience of Northern
men in submitting to be nited by them,
added totho oft-repeated statements of
such vagabond sheets as the Portland Ad
vertiser that oir tym'ialMa are with the
J! )ut!i," have very naturally impressed them

For uionr vtari we have men that it
wai tho ruri.oe of the firewater to sub

Kan'ai with (Ire and iword, acourgee nnd
bludgeons, and Inaugurated In-r reign over
the ruins of the thctlvo franchise. The
history of the Government aim 1854 down
to lhochiso of lliichannn'a reign, has been
a dark and despairing one; and, wero it
not for a few waymaik along the road, we
ahould have agreed with the fire-eaters,
that cmirago had entirely forsaken tho
North. That Northern mm, when ciifl.d,
khked, ou l snubbed, up to the fighting
iwilut. were more than a malrh or tne
chivalry, was ihown hi a few luch instance

Sinco Iho rebeU liavo inaugurated the
present civil war they have had abundant
opportunities to redeem their character for
braverv. but how liavo they improved
them? Tho shooting of Klhworlh In the
back bv Jackson. niUit have augured a
chlvnlrom future for tho r.-ltel, if ho had
been ouick enouijh to dodge tho bayonet
of tho Northman who pinned him to the
earth. The Government troops hare now
hail about n dor.cn different tkirmishes iu
Virginia, besides being fired upon by ping
ugly assassins under rover in J.dlimore.
In every hand to hand conflict our troops
seem to bo much more thnn a match for
the rebels. Indeed, the chlvulry. so far, in
stead of coming any where near up to thoir
own cstunnto or their figlilmg qualities,
seem to us lo fight littlo better than Iho
Mexican. Our troops have been victori
ous in every conflict in tho open field, and
Iho enemy seem in u fair wny to deserve
to bo nil mustered into Gen. Brnggadoc.os
flying cavulry. They must do better down

whipping to death a poor defenseless slave
woman, or a cringing Northern amalgama
tion democrat l.ko Slater, may bo a very
pleasant pastimo for the soft-handed,
whUkv-bloated chivalry. hut when it

If you want to hear sermons on honesty,
go lo a thief disquisitions on chastity,
listen to a harlot if you wish to purchase a
homily on honor, you will ulwnys find it iu

read any amount of whiuo about " Lin

Tho border rulliins alio invaded Kansas
from Missouri, and instituted mob law in
place of statute law, enforcing their brutal
behests with bowie-knives and bludgeons,
inscribed on their bnunirs "Law awl Or
der party." lJnchanan, when ho sent in
tlio l.ceoinplou Constitution and begged
Congress to force slavery down the throats
ol tho people of Kansas against their will,
urged that such a villainous procedure
would be strictly carrying out the great
principle of " popular sovereignly." Sena
tor I l.iinmon J, when he told us in tho V.
S. Senate, March 4, ISoS, that a minority
had ruled this Government six-scventlis of
tho time since its organization, thought n
minority rule the very essence of democra
cy. The rebels in all tho Southern States,
after having stolen tly; Government forts,
robbed tho mints nnd arsenals, spit upon
and trampled tho Constitution under foot,
und set every law of tho General Govern
ment nt defiance, proclaiming them all to
bo null nnd void, nro constantly whining
about Lincoln's " unconstiliition.il and il
leil uc.v."
Tho violation of every law, human und
divine, on the part of the rebels, is more
than winked nt by the half-breed organs of
treason in this State, but let the Adminis
tration suspend tho habeat corpus writ,
when it is attempted to wrest u traitor
from tho hands of tho only effectual and
Constitutional power that can save the
Government in timo of n revolution, and
these oj-guns nro thrown into a lockjaw by
stepping upon an imaginary sliver lorn
from o Constitution shattered by the guns
that defend the national capital from the
torch of tho traitor incendiary. The Ex
ecutive of this great nation, backed np bv
nu irresistible power, will probably con
tinue to execute the laws and support the
Constitution as understood by him', 'instrud
of asking traitors to define tho limits of his
constitutional powers, notwithstanding the
whino of G. L. Curry or the snivel of poor
Slater.

Frh reinforcements poured in, almost
without number. The Zouaves wero terri

Tlio carnngo was tremendous on both
sides. Ours is represented us frightful.
We wire advancing and taking their mask
ed batteries, driving tho enemy slowly nnd
surely towards Manassas, when they seem
ed to bo reinforced by Gen. Johnston,
who it i' "pears took tho command imme
diately, und commenced driving us bnck,
when n panic among our troops suddenly
occurred, and a regular stampede took
place; though Gen. McDowell attempted
to make a stand nt Ceutcrville, but the
panic was so fearful that tho whole nrmy
became demoralized, nnd it was Impossible
to check them nt Ceutcrville or Fairfax
Court House. The retreat continued till
they reached tho regular entrenchments.
A lurgo number fell by the way from ex
haustion. Gen. McDowell was in the rear, exerting
himself to recall the men, with only partial
success.
The latter part of the iirmv is said to
have made tho retreat iu order.
A prisoner says the force sent ngninsl us
CotiM.stcd of about 30,000. including n
large number of cavalry. Ho says, ow
